Re: [pct-l] late season JMT hike

[Bighummel@aol.com]

Thomas,

I love hiking late in the season in the Sierras.  It is arguably the best 
time of the year there.  I have often seen excellent temperatures and little 
or no snow until early November.  Then again, I have seen heavy, early snow 
storms late in September, but these usually melt off quickly until 
temperatures turn low for good for the season in late October or early 
November.  Like trying to time the meltoff in Spring, you take your chances 
and enjoy the conditions regardless of what fate happens to deal you.

Best regards,

Greg "Strider" Hummel
